Data Integration, Fivetran, and HVR at Powell Industries with Ajay Bidani
Hashmap on Tap Ep. 97
“Fivetran makes it easy to start and then evolve from there — you don’t have to take a big step in until you’re ready.” — Ajay Bidani of Powell Industries
Ajay Bidani, who leads digital enablement and insights at Powell Industries, joined Kelly Kohlleffel over a cup of coffee on the Hashmap on Tap podcast to share his experiences with building a modern data stack, data integration, Fivetran, and HVR. Powell Industries manufacturers a range of electrical, automation, and control monitoring systems and solutions. Recently, Ajay’s team at Powell has been migrating off of a legacy data platform. In this episode, Ajay shared with Kelly how building a modern data stack has adjusted his approach to data architecture, engineering, and analytics.
The coffee stack is just as important as the data stack, so on tap for this episode is Kyoto Black cold brew coffee for Ajay and Melozio Nespresso for Kelly.
